„I guess...fast reflexes?" ______
MJ was angry, not because there was a Party in her home, the reason why she was angry was that they had smashed the kitchen window, because some of the uninvited students thought it was a great idea to play basket ball in the kitchen.
After she throw everyone out of her home, excluding the deca team, she went to the living room. She started tidying up the living room with the help of her team mates. She also throw Flash out of her room, with threatening him by saying that he should look out whenever he spots her. He ran out screaming like a little girl.
Gwen also stayed and helped her cleaning everything. She felt bad, even though it wasn't her fault. Her gaze always went back to Peter who helped Ned to pick up the shattered glass from the broken window. Gwen was happy that she told him about knowing that he was the vigilante in the red blue suit. He promised her to help her control the powers and to show her how she can use it for her everyday life.
However, Peter was doomed. Ned and May found out by accident but Gwen told him that she knew without seeing him in the suit. Of course she eavesdropped when he talked with Ned about his powers, but it was still different than how Ned and May found out. How should Peter tell it to Tony.
"Ouch.", Ned said, bringing Peter back to reality. Ned had cut himself on the shattered glasses, he had just picked up. His hand was bleeding, and he tried to stop it by holding his hand tight. MJ came in and gave him a paper towel before bring the first aid kid. She bandaged his bleeding hand and told him to sit down. She took Ned's spot by helping Peter to continue picking up the shard of glass and throw it into the trash can.
"What?", MJ said after she felt his eyes on her. Immediately, Peter looked anywhere but MJ. They continued picking up the shards of glass and there was silence between them. No one spoke, the only sound in the whole house was the sweeps of the brooms or the picking up of shattered glass, and the breathing of those teenagers. Ned watched everyone working, while he started to clean the table, even though his hand still hurt.
"MJ, even through, the party was unexpected, I must say that I love your house.", Ned said after another five minutes silence. "Yeah, who could have thought that Michelle Jones has a huge mansion. Not that I want to sound rude or anything. It's just I expected something different from you.", Betty said when she finished sweeping. She sat down next to Ned and took a sip from her glass of water. "Your House is really amazing.", Cindy agreed with Ned and smiled. MJ nodded, but couldn't hide a small smile. "Look, it's a miracle. We made MJ smile.", Ned bursted out and everyone started laughing. But could you blame MJ, she never gotten any compliments except from her family and teachers.
Everyone looked to Peter, who was picking up the trash and went to the door. "I'm going out and throw away the trash.", he said and was followed by MJ who also carried the trash out. When they left, the blond girl looked to the other deca teammates and smiled. "Do you, maybe know, if MJ is searching for a new member for the decathlon team?", she asked, and everyone shrugged. "You want to join?", Abe asked, getting a quick nodded from Gwen. She always wanted to join the decathlon team, but wasn't sure if they wanted new members. But now, she knew that she would be accepted, cause they basically know her.
Outside, Peter and MJ were throwing out the trash in to the trash can, a cross the street. "What's the deal with you and this girl, I think her name was Gwen?", MJ said, looking at Peter. "Uh, n-nothing.", he replied, getting a bit nervous. Why did she ask? "Why are you asking?", he asked, waiting for her answer. She shrugged, not knowing why she asked that. She took a step back, not realizing that she was now standing on the street. Peter throw the last garbage back into the big trash can. When suddenly his Spider sense warned him. He turned around and pulled MJ back to the sidewalk, before a fast black car could run over her. Her eyes widened and her heart beat fast.
After a while, she realized that Peter was hugging her, and she pushed herself away. "Uh, thanks,... I guess.", She said and brushed her hair out of her face. "You alright?", Peter asked her, not caring what she said. A quick nod was all he wanted now. "How- how did you know that there was a car? And why were you so fast?", she said, blaming herself that she didn't hear the car. Peter's eyes widened. He didn't know how to answer. "I guess,... fast reflexes?", he said, mentally punching himself that his answer came out like a question. "Aha.", she said not believing him, but she let it slide away.
Back in the house, Gwen asked if she could talk to MJ in private. While the two girl were in another room, Peter walked back to Ned and sat next to him. "What do you think, MJ's gonna do with the kitchen window?", Betty asked, looking into the round. Liz shrugged. "I think she's going to tell her parents what happened. Cause it's not her fault that Flash invited those guys.", she said and everyone agreed. "Do you know what Gwen and MJ are talking about?", "Gwen wants to join the decathlon team, Peter.", Charles answered, taking a sip of his orange juice. Peter nodded, why now?
The two girl were in the office of MJ father. Gwen looked down, breathing in and out, before looking up. "I want to join the decathlon team.", the words left her mouth, without thinking. "Sure, come to the library Monday, we always practice there.", MJ said without hesitation. Gwen smiled and hugged her tight. "No, don't hug me, I'm not a hugging person.", she said, pushing her out of the hug. The smile was still on Gwen's face when they entered the living room.
"Thank you guys, for helping me. See you on Monday.", MJ said goodbye to her teammates and closed the door. "The window?", Liz said. "I need to do a call. By tomorrow I'm dead.", MJ said. They both walk to MJ's room. Because Liz wasn't living in Queens anymore, she was staying at MJ's for the weekend before going back to Oregon. MJ called her parents, telling them what happened. "They aren't mad, they watched the security cameras.", she explained. "You have security cameras?", "Yeah, but only in the living room, because it's the biggest room of the whole house.", she said and laid down. Liz also made herself comfortable on the mattress on the floor. "Goodnight.", "Goodnight."
______ Hey, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. This one's a bit boring but the action will come, so don't worry be happy. Since I'm going to Turkey on Monday, the next chapter will probably be published in two weeks. Don't be sad, cause I'll use the time to write more chapters so that I can publish many in a day. If I have eventually WLAN there, I'll publish the chapters. Hope you have an amazing summer.
